Pros

I had a very Good team, again depends on the manager Atleast as an organisation they try to be flexible with employee's

Cons

As i mentioned Good team and try to be good management, those matter to an extent only as career growth take precedence and as per career growth Lower hikes, and getting promotion can be hard as most people I see are stagnant in their roles

Pros

Employee-friendly company Company policies are good, like providing day care support for the kids (up to 6 years of age) for women employees, so that women can come back to work early after maternity leave, and there are a lot of learning opportunities inside Nokia, but you need to have good circle of friends so that you can get to know about the opportunities

Cons

Work is monotonous, the same kind of work you will be doing for years There is a delay in promotion after the JG9. It may take more that 7-8 years to reach JG10 and also you may not get the kind of work for the experience you have
